Estill Socks Keystones in 9-2 Gothams Win
The New York Gothams defeated the Philadelphia Keystones by the score of 9-2. Hank Estill starred for New York, going 3-for-5 with 2 home runs. Ed Cornett, the winner, is now 4-2. He struck out 2 and walked 0 over 7 innings, while allowing 2 runs on 8 hits. With the win, the Gothams improved to 40-36.

The Keystones had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Gothams going into the top of the second inning. That changed quickly when the top prospect Earl Howe came to the plate. Howe hit a solo home run on a full count fastball from Philadelphia hurler Bill Sohl. It was Howe's 15th home run of the year.

"The effort wasn't good enough," said losing manager Carl Ames.
